Found this Armenian cross gifted by the local Armenian community. Apparently our city’s saint buried at this church is an ethnic Armenian from Anatolia. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1c8nxhs Posted by Rubber-Ducklin

Saint Servatius is assumed to have been Armenian and is the patron Saint of Maastricht. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servatius_of_Tongeren Although if he was from Anatolia (I.e. Anatolian peninsula) or Armenian Highlands is unknown. And btw what you see is called khackar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khachkar
